PS I looked for a Michigan-themed Christmas vid on YouTube for this post and couldn't find squat. So for shits and giggles, I tried a Tosu search. And, well, let's just say Buckeye fans are a different breed...

Zoning regulations--and the boundaries of good taste--or, should I say, "Good taste, as codified in zoning regulations"--prevent U. of M. alumni in Grosse Pointe from such ostentatious lighting displays.

This is boring. HA! I even tried to start a conversation at MGoBlog last night. (ignored) Football season, come back!!!! :o) At least my sons play Madden, so we had a good conversation about the 3-3-5 Stack (which they don't use in Madden, they prefer the Nickel) They do however use the cover 2 and they knew what the Tampa 2 was! I should have asked for Madden for Christmas, maybe then I could entertain myself! :o)

"They could have left Charlie Weis out of the show, why ruin it with his opinion?"

Katie, with the exception of having Giselle come give me a foot massage and feed me grapes while i watched the interview, the inclusion of Charlie was the best thing that could've happened. When he left there was all of this "Oh no, how will Tom do without Weiss in the background" speculation, and how we'd see Peyton prove he was truly head and shoulder's above our future president.

Instead, we see Weiss give rise to "Three and Out Jesus", and Tom is on the verge of an undefeated season and breaking Peyton's single season TD mark. Man I love revilling in the misery and accomplishments of others which i had no direct part in creating. It's truly what gives my life meaning. :0

I am having withdrawals........the guys at MgoBlog told me to go back to the kitchen and make sandwiches...LMAO! I did get a little conversation out of them though. I get to go spend the evening with my brother who is a huge Michigan fan, so I am sure I will get a good dose tonight!

The guy that posts as anonymous said, Katie, Katie, Katie, go back to the kitchen and make us some sandwiches....LOL! But the other guys were friendly enough, I am sure that they didn't take me too seriously, so it is easier to ignore the chick who sounds like she might not have a clue. And after that You tube post I just made, I wouldn't blame anyone for not taking me seriously....ROFL!

Oh my , during the coach's search, it was downright scary! I tried to avoid it. I would go over to see if I could glean a bit of info, but it was so insane I couldn't stay! It seemed that there were a number of students over there at the time. Normally, the comments over there is strictly football and they are serious about it! Not during the Coach's search!!

Merry Christmas, A couple of You Tube Christmas clips for your enjoyment. The first is Merry Christmas from OSU football (they seemed slightly confused) and then a light show to music.....with a slight variation that I had not seen before......:o)

Well it is a damn good thing I don't run this blog, my taste in entertainment sucks! LOL!!

Where are all the peeps? I had to subject my family to football talk, which ended up with me betting my brother that Michigan would beat Florida, my mother was not pleased at the wager (relatively large...LOL) but hey, I am a poor grad student!! This of course means Michigan must now win!!! GO BLUE!!! (and please God, let Hart and Henne be healthy!)

Unfortunately I can not blame the bet on booze. As for the subject matter of Michigan ending up as hospice, I should expect as much from a tOSU lover!! I have a feeling that there is good chance our guys will come home with the victory. Thus the bet. My family would agree with you. I am boring. :o)

What in the fuck is wrong with people? Seriously, what the fuck can be going thru one's head doing something like that with the Christmas tree and then singing a grievously ridiculous song like that? I'd always thought I was a diehard UM fan. My wife has cussed me out on many occasions for screaming at the TV and generally going ballistic during yet another one of UM's meltdowns. If that's what true diehard fans do then I'll proudly proclaim that I am not a diehard. Nice call on Troy's number, too. Gaah!

Well, Whets, i'm glad you asked. Little known fact about me: I was the first non-latino member of Menudo. Yup, it's true. You can look it up, it's part of my fake autobiography, so it has to be true.

Quick synopsis:I left the band over creative differences at age 15, and I'm truly shocked you missed the E! True Hollywood Story about it.

For awhile after I hung out with young hollywood and these two guys Brian and Tom, right up until they changed their first names to be like me (I used to go by Corey)and I got bored with them. Fuckin' Haim and Feldmen, they got what they deserved after writing me out of "License to Drive." All because Heather Graham wanted me. Bastards.

Until recently I was the frontman for a ska/punk influenced Debbie Gibson cover band with Fred Claus ( and not that stupid Disney p.o.s., but the original. He's Santa's alcoholic brother and he manages the Speedway down the street.) Anyway, the guy plays a mean bass. The band broke up after we had a dispute about the name. I preferred "Banana Hammock Afro" while Fred championed "The Fisting Midgets". Such a shame- we were gonna be HUGE!

Anyway, I still get royalties from the Menudo stuff, so be sure to run right out and buy a cd- if i find you pirating that shit off Limewire I'm gonna send the Coreys after your ass. And they'll do it to man, they'll do it.

So there you go, now you know what all the tripe about Menudo was.

Ps. Little known fact about former Menudo memeber Ricky Martin: He's not gay, he just likes the way it tastes.

Did you know that it is worth the extra $4 a month to have roadside service on your automobile insurance policy? Who'd a thunk? I am such a cheapskate, and I paid the price, TWICE in the last week! Meh.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot- I dated Whitney Houston for awhile, too but I broke her heart. Yeah, remember when she used to be hot? My bad. How was I supposed to know she'd go ruunning to Bobby brown and start smoking crack?

Menudo is specially prepared stomach of the bovine. It was also a Latin pop group that had a Vienna Boys' Choir strategem of dropping singers as soon as--well, as soon as their testicles dropped. Ricky Martin is probably the most notable former member.

The epicurean culinary delight preceeded the group--perhaps, by centuries.

Purportedly, it cures hangovers and has an aphrodisical quality.

Mexicans regard it as a delicacy and reserve a special night for its preparation and consumption.

I don't know about the hangovers, but my personal theory on most homespun aphrodisiacs is that they are "the placebo effect." In other words, if I could hypnotize you and make you believe a gelatin pill was an aphrodisiac--after I gave you one, you would get a chubb. Oh, well--maybe it really cures hangovers, and once you kill the cow you had just as soon eat the whole thing.

Go Big Ten! I did my undergraduate at Western Michigan, and CMU was a huge rival, so it makes it even easier to root for Purdue. Of course, the chances of Purdue losing this game are slim to none, wait, I thought that about the AppState game too! HA!

This is an interesting article on the coach's searches that have taken place. Nice to see that ESPN gave us a passing grade and calls R2 an "A" hire, with an overall grade of "B". The fact that we were given a "C" for the process is ironic since ESPN played a hand in that debacle!
